After the divorce, the CEO forced me to have his child.

Chapter 502 He Yi, do you really want me to marry Yi Fei?

“Yes, but I’m a man, sister. I’ll get through this. I can handle it. I told Li Xin I’ll be going back to China in a few days. Yifei’s condition will probably require me to stay for a while longer. I’d appreciate it if you could stay and take care of him. I’ll take care of Grandma. Don’t worry about the company business either. Sister, just let Yifei indulge himself this once.” After saying this, He Yi remained silent for a long time.

He hope was also unable to utter a single word, and was already crying her eyes out.

Later, He hope took Yi Fei for a check-up and rehabilitation. He Yi returned to Gu Zhiyao's ward and played with his son and daughter for a while until only he and Gu Zhiyao were left in the ward.

He slowly asked, "Gu Zhiyao, do you want to marry Yifei?"

Gu Zhiyao was startled and stared at him intently.

He Yi smiled slightly, "Just answer whatever you want. If you really want to marry him, I won't stop you. From today onwards, I will never force you or bother you again. You can choose the life you want. Even if you want to marry Yi Fei, I will support you and help you."

Gu Zhiyao's heart continued to race. She couldn't understand why he said these things, and even couldn't help but wonder if he had some ulterior motive, a feigned retreat to advance? Or...?

His past actions were so deeply ingrained in people's minds that they left an unchangeable suspicion in her heart.

He Yi seemed to guess her thoughts, and couldn't help but smile bitterly before approaching her.

Gu Zhiyao instinctively took a few steps back, but quickly stopped, her expression calm.

He Yi's gaze traveled down her face and then stopped on her abdomen. "I'm sorry that you always get pregnant under such unpleasant circumstances. I originally thought that with this child, I would try my best to let you enjoy a good pregnancy and thus drive away the painful memories I left you with before, but things don't always go as planned."

Gu Zhiyao, you said you would give Niu Niu to me, but I thought about it. Niu Niu grew up with you since she was little. Although she has very strong feelings for me now, deep down she still depends on you the most and is closest to you.

So, why not give this child to me? He was just born and doesn't understand anything, he has no memory of anything. Perhaps it would be better for him to grow up with me. Are you willing to give him up?

Hearing these words, Gu Zhiyao felt a strong urge to cry, even though they were all things she had thought of before. She felt particularly sad.

She looked at his pale and thin face, which was different from usual.

“I might return to China the day after tomorrow. I’ve been away for so long, I have to go back. The company was saved for me by my grandmother and sister, and I can’t let it be ruined in my hands. I’m sorry, Gu Zhiyao, I wasn’t by your side when you needed someone to accompany and take care of you the most these past few days. But going forward, I think it’s a good thing that Yifei will be there to accompany and take care of you.”

Yifei is a very good man. He's clean and devoted. He will always cherish you. With him by your side for the rest of your life, everyone should feel at ease.

Gu Zhiyao's lips trembled incessantly, opening and closing repeatedly.

Finally, she blurted out, "He Yi, do you really want me to marry Yi Fei? Are you sure?"

He Yi was slightly taken aback, his gaze fixed intently on her. "And you? This is your own business, whether you're willing to marry him or not. As for me, regardless of my wishes, it's not that important, and it won't change anything anyway."

Gu Zhiyao met his burning gaze, took a deep breath, and said, "Yes, I want to marry him because it's what I promised him. If you ask me, then I'll tell you, I will marry him if he's willing to marry me."

Immediately, He Yi smiled.

But only he knew that hidden in that smile was a heart-wrenching pain, a suffocating pain that made it hard for him to breathe!

"Alright, I understand. This time, I won't stop you anymore, nor will I let any force stop you. Just stay with Yifei." With that, he left, hastily departing before he could finally reveal his vulnerability.

Gu Zhiyao stood frozen in place, staring intently at the doorway where he had disappeared. His words kept flashing through her mind, and then she burst into tears.

The next day, He Yi was discharged from the hospital, and two days later, he boarded a flight back to China.

Niu Niu insisted on taking him to the airport.

The little girl cried bitterly, "Daddy, although I know you have to be busy with work, I really miss you so much. When will you come back? Or should I go back to China?"

Looking at his daughter's reluctant expression, He Yi could feel his internal organs clenching and throbbing with pain.

He hugged the little girl tightly, his voice choked with emotion, "Daddy's not here with you, so remember to be good, especially, don't argue with Mommy, okay? Remember what Daddy told you before, you're Mommy's precious baby, you have to take good care of Mommy!"

"I remember, but Dad, I want to be with you too. You said before that you would make Mom forgive you and that our family could be reunited. Why are you leaving us now? How can we be together again?"

He Yi was speechless.

Because this wish of her daughter may never be fulfilled in her lifetime.

Even he couldn't do it!

At this moment, Chenchen also approached and gently tugged at Niu Niu.

"The plane is about to take off, and Dad has to go through security. We'll video chat with Dad when he gets back to China."

"I don't want to! I want to go back to China with Daddy! Daddy, please take me back with you!" Niu Niu cried out.

“Niu Niu!” Chenchen frowned.

He Yi looked back and forth between them, first giving Chenchen a calm smile, then touching Niu Niu's face and saying, "Niu Niu is going back to China with Daddy, but what about Mommy? Mommy is pregnant now, and many things are inconvenient for her. After all, your brother is a boy, so Niu Niu will need to help out a lot. Are you willing to leave Mommy here alone?"

Niu Niu froze for a moment.

“Our Niu Niu is a filial and sensible child, a very loving little darling of her mother. You must be worried about your mother, right? No matter where Daddy is, Daddy will always have you in his heart. Time and distance will not be a barrier between us. Niu Niu, do you remember that?” He Yi continued to speak leisurely.

The little girl pouted, her big, dark, bright eyes brimming with glistening tears, and then she began to sob softly.

He Yi wiped away her tears again and again until they were all gone. His warm hands caressed her delicate face repeatedly, then he lowered his head and kissed her forehead deeply. "Niu Niu, you will always be Daddy's little baby! Daddy loves you!"

He let go, stood up, resolutely turned around, and walked quickly towards the security checkpoint.
